Welcome to the World of the Strong [Unlimited Flow] 32p2

Chapter 32 p2: Transit Island

Even if Shi Jun had already forgotten, today she had to pick out items for Jiang Yu.

As for Shi Jun herself, although she had created a smurf account, because of her physical condition, she had already used all her points to strengthen her body, so she had never opened the item store.

Shi Jun said, “Then… to your room?”

Jiang Yu: …

She subconsciously felt the skin on her back tighten.

“This… is not very appropriate, is it?”

Shi Jun raised an eyebrow slightly, a half-smile on her face. “We’re both girls. What’s not appropriate?”

Jiang Yu pursed her lips. For a moment, she could not think of an excuse to meet her gaze.

Should I just say it? Will it be too awkward? But if I don’t…

Jiang Yu could guarantee that there would be no problem, but she was just afraid that the top player would have other ideas.

After taking in Jiang Yu’s expression, Shi Jun smiled happily, her lips curving. “It doesn’t matter. Let’s go to your room.”

Jiang Yu looked away. “Oh, okay.”

Since Zhong Yu had said so, it should also represent the top player’s meaning.

Jiang Yu let out a light breath, feeling that her back was a little hot.

After the two of them arrived at the room, Jiang Yu did not dare to pull her to sit on the bed. Instead, she sat on the sofa, putting on a studious look.

Shi Jun raised her chin slightly. “Let me see your level first?”

Jiang Yu: “C-0%, just enough to unlock the C-rank store.”

Shi Jun hummed in agreement, then took Jiang Yu’s phone and looked at the store.

“You used 50 points to strengthen your body last time?”

Jiang Yu hummed in agreement. “Is that not good?”

“No. After all, newcomers can’t buy any good weapons, and it’s not good to rely too much on weapons, so strengthening your body is a good choice.”

She then flipped through the items Jiang Yu had bought last time and chuckled softly.

For some reason, Jiang Yu’s back felt a little itchy again. Her face flushed red. Although she and Zhong Yu were both newcomers, for some reason, she seemed to trust Zhong Yu more.

And to be checked by the other party like this… she had the illusion of being checked by a teacher.

Jiang Yu rubbed the tip of her nose, trying to calm herself down.

Shi Jun looked at the things in the store, frowning from time to time.

As expected, it’s easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go from extravagant to frugal.

She was already used to buying all kinds of S-rank items. Now, to be picking and choosing among a pile of D-rank and C-rank items… she really did not like any of them.

Jiang Yu’s points were 150 * 1.25 from the last instance, plus the 10 points she had left over. There were indeed not many things she could buy.

Shi Jun looked at it, then chose a few and checked them off. Then, she handed the phone to Jiang Yu.

“Take a look. Is there anything you need to change?”

Jiang Yu took it and looked. She was stunned for a moment.

Zhong Yu had helped her choose a weapon, similar to a dagger that could be carried with her. It was convenient to take out but would not hurt her. It was entirely black, looking simple and beautiful, as if it contained a very powerful aura.

The weapon was C-rank and cost one hundred points.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment. “Is it that expensive?”

The corner of Shi Jun’s mouth twitched slightly. “It’s better not to buy some of the garbage low-level weapons. If you bring them, you can only use them as junk.”

She glanced at Jiang Yu. “Of course, if you’re not willing…”

Jiang Yu cut her off softly, “I didn’t say I’m not willing.”

She was just asking casually. In fact, Jiang Yu had no intention of changing the items Zhong Yu had chosen.

She pursed her lips and frowned slightly, reflecting in her heart why she trusted Zhong Yu so much.

Hearing her words, Shi Jun raised an eyebrow slightly. Although she did not continue to say anything, the smile on her lips widened a little.

Then, there was a fifty-point enchantment. But the difference was that after this enchantment was applied, the weapon could cause damage to spirits.

In other words, this weapon could now be used against both supernatural and non-supernatural beings.

There was also a ten-point user manual. After using it, the body could automatically learn the skills and proficiency of controlling the weapon.

This set cost one hundred and sixty points.

Although it seemed expensive at first glance, but… it was expensive for a reason.

The remaining points were used to strengthen her body.

Jiang Yu paused slightly. “Don’t we need to save ten points?”

Shi Jun raised an eyebrow slightly. After a moment, she understood what she meant.

She chuckled softly. “Are you so unconfident about entering the instance? You still have to save ten points for medical treatment?”

Jiang Yu pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly, but she was also very open-minded.

“After all, I have to consider all kinds of situations.”

Shi Jun smiled. “Don’t worry. A Wang Meng doesn’t even have medical equipment.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yu nodded.

“And…” Shi Jun raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced at Jiang Yu. “I’m not so weak that I can’t protect you.”

“…”

Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Although Zhong Yu always looked frail and sickly, her performance would not make people doubt her.

Jiang Yu said, “Then I’ll thank you in advance.”

Shi Jun smiled.

“You don’t have to thank me. Just think of me as… protecting a debtor.”

Jiang Yu blinked. “When… did I owe you a debt?”

Shi Jun glanced at her. “Think about it again.”

So, she thought of the end of the last instance… ah, it seemed… she owed Zhong Yu something?

Jiang Yu was speechless for a moment.

But could what she owed really be called something?

At the end of the last instance, she had owed Zhong Yu a favor.

Jiang Yu pursed her lips helplessly.

“Okay, I’ll remember.”

Shi Jun returned the phone to Jiang Yu, then walked toward the door. “Then, goodbye.”

Jiang Yu paused for a moment and nodded.

Since Zhong Yu had said so, then the next instance should be the two of them together.

After that, Li Nanmeng and Lin Hui specifically asked Jiang Yu how she was doing here and if she was used to it.

Jiang Yu replied to their messages after she saw them.

Jiang Yu was living very well in Wang Meng. She had originally thought that the high-level top players would have some measures against her, a rookie who had seemingly joined through the back door, or treat her with negative emotions. But to her surprise, everyone was very friendly.

Although Tang Ningning was as cold as ever, that was her personality. She had no other opinions about Jiang Yu herself.

Jiang Yu was living very smoothly here.

And… sometimes, when she was dragged by Qiao Zhishan to eat dessert, she would have the illusion that this was like a girls’ afternoon tea party.

After replying to the message, Jiang Yu received another message from Qiao Zhishan.

She had already added everyone in the organization as friends before.

Qiao Zhishan asked her if she wanted to go out and play together.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and still politely refused.

One, she was not in the mood. There were only five days left before she entered the instance, and she was still a little nervous. Two, the Transit Island… was there anything fun to do?

Perhaps she had guessed Jiang Yu’s complaints, or perhaps she was too eager to drag someone out to play, but Qiao Zhishan sent a lot of promotional messages.

For example, there were many fun places on the Transit Island, such as amusement parks, zoos, board game rooms, escape rooms, and so on.

When Jiang Yu saw this, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. She did not know what to say.

As expected of the Transit Island?

In addition, there were also things like shopping malls, casinos, auction houses, and so on.

But unlike the casinos in reality, in the Transit Island, the casinos definitely did not gamble with money, but with points or items.

When Jiang Yu saw the casino, her eyebrows twitched slightly.

It was not that she was tempted, but that she was secretly on guard.

A rookie like her should never wander into this place. Otherwise, she would be eaten clean and still have to count the money for others.

But in the end, Jiang Yu could not bear to refuse Qiao Zhishan. She changed her clothes and then went downstairs to find her.

As soon as she got out of the elevator, she was met by Qiao Zhishan. The other party hugged her emotionally.

“Xiao Jiang Jiang, you’re so nice. Wuwuwu, thank you.”

Jiang Yu smiled helplessly. “Where do you want to go?”

Qiao Zhishan: “The amusement park!”

Jiang Yu: “…So… down-to-earth.”

She had thought that on the Transit Island, the other party would play something different.

Qiao Zhishan smiled. “I can’t help it. Even in this ghost world, I still miss some of the things from before.”

Jiang Yu was silent for a moment. “Indeed.”

Qiao Zhishan had her own car, so she drove Jiang Yu out directly.

On the way, Qiao Zhishan asked about Jiang Yu’s next instance.

Jiang Yu told her that Zhong Yu should be going with her.

Qiao Zhishan did not look very surprised.

“That’s as it should be. With Xiao Yuyu with you, you’ll be much more at ease.”

Jiang Yu thought for a moment. “Do you also think that Zhong Yu’s ability is very convincing?”

Qiao Zhishan almost did not think. “Yes, Xiao Yuyu is very strong.”

Jiang Yu was quiet for a moment, but she still could not help but ask softly with curiosity, “But Zhong Yu and I should be newcomers who came in at the same time. Why… is she so strong?”

To describe her as strong was not quite right. To be more precise, Zhong Yu was more confident and had more strength.

This kind of strength was not judged by whether one’s body was strong or not.

And there was one more thing she had not asked.

It was fine how strong Zhong Yu herself was. The important thing was, why would Qiao Zhishan, who was already a top player herself, say… without hesitation, that Zhong Yu was very strong?

Jiang Yu glanced at Qiao Zhishan, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Qiao Zhishan thought for a moment and did not know how to answer, so she could only hesitate.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu smiled faintly and did not continue to ask.

“It’s okay. If it’s not convenient, then forget it.”

Qiao Zhishan pursed her lips and smiled.

Perhaps to make up for the fact that the last question was not easy to answer, Qiao Zhishan added, “But you don’t need to worry too much. It’s very common for people in the organization to team up for instances, especially since you two are of similar levels.”

Hearing her words, Jiang Yu was a little thoughtful. “Then according to what you said, can’t we just have the whole organization go to the instance together?”

This way, they could also look out for each other, and it would also eliminate the possibility of having bad teammates, and even more so, the possibility of having teammates who would backstab them.

Qiao Zhishan sighed. “There’s no way. Do you think everyone doesn’t want to? But once there are more than four members of an organization in an instance, the level of the instance will increase, and there might even be some restrictions.”

Jiang Yu thought of her last instance.

“But in my last instance, it was two veterans with me and two other newcomers.”

Qiao Zhishan raised an eyebrow. “You also said they were newcomers. Then the time you joined the organization must not have been a month.”

Jiang Yu was suddenly enlightened.

She had forgotten that it took a month to be considered officially joining an organization.

Then it was fine.

Qiao Zhishan parked the car next to an amusement park.

She tore open a lollipop and bit into it, full of energy. “Go!”

So, Jiang Yu spent the whole afternoon playing with Qiao Zhishan.

To be honest, you could not tell at all that Qiao Zhishan was a person in the World of Strength. Her lively appearance was no different from an ordinary little girl.

There was also an interlude. A person was probably attracted by Qiao Zhishan’s happy and cheerful expression and came over to ask for her contact information.

After being rejected by Qiao Zhishan, he then brought out his level and the organization behind him. It was not a threat, but… there was definitely a lure.

His pestering was annoying.

Qiao Zhishan’s originally smiling expression immediately faded, and she became expressionless.

This was the first time Jiang Yu had seen her not smiling.

Her round, cute eyes were filled with a cold and repulsive emotion, like ice.

Qiao Zhishan sneered. “Threatening me? Do you know who I am?”
